Perhaps I did not explain myself well.

I was simply pointing out an interesting paradox that the mafia thrives moreso in a left orientated political sphere not out of support but quite the opposite, for opportunity for abuse.

Regards mafia political orientation I see vastly more commonality with a right ethos than a left.

When was the last time you heard a wiseguy happy for a tax increase.
Or even paid tax to begin with?

The Irony being that they thrive better in an environment contrary to their probable beliefs.

Hence the paradox.
